Either full path to script (/path/to/nagios/libexec/scriptname <Parameters>) or do a "cd" to your nagios/libexec and type ./check_netscreen_vpn -H 10.1.1.23 -C your_password -n "somevpn" -l The first line of the script invokes the correct interpreter, normally, so you don't type "perl check_netscreen_vpn ..." usually, but you could do that, too. See the usage-examples on http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/pages/Detailed/1681.html If it doesn't work, maybe you have a distro-nagios, which might not be in /usr/local/nagios. Then you have to adjust the perl-script with an editor editing the line use lib "/usr/local/nagios/libexec" ; to wherever your libexec is located at. I run into this issue at least two times already :-/ (but now I know what to watch out for). > PS: I'm having issues with some SH scripts, same problem as the PERL one I > guess ;) Probably, but this should get you going, I hope... Same procedure. Greetz, Marcus P.S.: Two more things: 1) Keep it on the list please, for the sake of sharing knowledge with others. 2) A: Yes. >Q: Are you sure? >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon?
